Cheating rules

Timewarp

Timewarp has specific set limits: your Timewarp speed MUST be at minimum 66% of 1.5x speed for Double Time*, and NO Timewarp with nomod. With the most Common Clients, This would be:

AQN: 100 with DT

osu!rx: 0.66 with DT

Maple: 100 With DT (Rate), 0.66 With DT (Multiplier)

Ainu & Ainu Based Clients: Skoot.er; 0.66 with DT | Abypass; 100 with DT

Assist.Games: 100 with DT (rate)

Aim Correction/Aim Assist:

Below listed are the HIGHEST allowed settings and/or whether or not the cheat is allowed for each of the most common aim assist tools for osu!. If your cheat is not listed, ask a moderator. Here are more details:

Ainu/hq.af’s “SAVE ME” is allowed (no limit);

MPGH’s Ainu default AC is allowed;

Skooter’s AC/Abypass AA is allowed; Its Strength must be at or below 60, but can only be a whole number. Values like 58.2 and 51.1 are not allowed.

osu!buddy’s AA is allowed; but must be equal to or below the following settings. Strength: 11 Aim Start Distance: 666

Kat’s AA is allowed; Its Strength cannot exceed 1.5x.

Assist.games AA is allowed, Its Strength cannot exceed 66.

Maple AA is allowed but MUST be equal to or below the following settings.

AA V2 AA Power: 0,6 or below. Assist on sliders: Allowed

AA V3 AA Power: 1.2 or below. Slider AA: 0,6 or below.

Flashlight:

You may use Flashlight removers, but if the map’s difficulty is higher than 7 stars (after mods, so if it’s 6 stars no mod, and you apply +HDDT and it becomes 8 stars, then it’s not allowed.) If that’s the case you are required to liveplay the play with Flashlight. NOW, FL is not allowed even if there’s a score on top 50 FL score on that map (Bancho) If you’re unsure, then ask a Moderator.

TLDR: FL REMOVER IS NOT ALLOWED.

Multiple Cheats:

You can’t now have more than ONE cheat instance/client open at the same time,this ALSO applies to combining cheats together, if you get caught doing so you will end up getting banned. The only exception for this rule is combining osu!rx (V1 or V2) with Kat’s AA/any kind of Aim assist that doesn’t have timewarp & relax.

Unfair hacks

Unfair hacks such as replaybots (and replay editing, by extension), score modifiers, OD changers, spinbots, autobots (includes all forms of auto,cursordance bots too), cheats that modify the score’s replay data (e.g. tap data or aim data, or playing with the in-game Relax mod, then removing it on submission) and score editors are NOT allowed, this rule may be enforced outside of the examples given. It is discretionary.

CS modifiers:

Circle Size changers are allowed, but with the following rules: For no-mod plays: default CS - 1 (eg. CS4 -> CS3); For HR plays: default CS - 0.77 (eg. CS4 -> CS3.23); For EZ plays: default CS - 2 (eg. CS4 -> CS2).

These values must be applied to the map’s default CS with NO MODS ENABLED. To check the CS, turn off your CS changer, reload the map and check in the top left corner where it says “CS: xxx AR: xxx OD: xxx”

Other Important Notes:

For Ainu users, make sure the client you use was downloaded on MPGH, the Skoot.er Discord server or the Ainu Xheaters Discord server, otherwise it contains prohibited features.

Things as: Relax hacks, AR changers, Enlighten (Un-HD), and other stuff that wasn’t listed in the hacking rules ARE ALLOWED. You can also ask one of the staff members if you still need clarification.

Specific Gamemodes Rules

CTB:

Hyperwalk maps are not allowed.

Moderation policy

Unlike other infractions, we have a fixed moderation policy for hacking rules. If you get caught breaking any of the Hacking Rules, it will result in a wipe of your account’s scores if you cannot prove you weren’t breaking the rules.

After 3 wipes, your account will be BANNED, not restricted. This means we’ll never ban someone at their first wipe, other than for the Skoot.er AC rule and Multiple cheat client’s rules.

You may appeal 1 month after your restriction unless you judge you haven’t been restricted for a legitimate reason.

If you want to appeal, you may email us at accounts@kawata.pw or Join our Discord and either open a ticket at #support-tickets or send a DM to any member of the support team.
